You need to eat more FAT! No, no… don’t go run to McDonald’s for a cheeseburger. Try eating these healthy fatty foods. They help fight off cancer, stabilize cholesterol levels, burn fat, enhance your bodies ability to absorb nutrients, decrease heart disease, and improve memory and ‘brain’ health. If that isn’t motivation enough, they are also mouthwatering and scrumptious. 1. Avocados Avocados are nature’s power food. They’re very low in fructose and provide close to 20 essential health-boosting nutrients. Avocados are one of the safest fruits.

Coconut Milk Coconut Milk contains mostly medium chain fatty acids which are more easily burned as energy which makes it a great option for a ‘good’ fat. It almost maximizes calcium absorption.

The enzyme lactase which breaks down the main sugar in milk, lactose, usually stops being produced between the ages of two and five. This leaves the undigested sugars to ferment in the colon creating very unpleasant symptoms such as gas, cramping, bloating, nausea, constipation and/or diarrhea. 5) Countries with the highest milk consumption are the countries with the highest levels of osteoporosis. 6) There are plenty of plant-based foods—including green leafy vegetables (like broccoli, kale and collards) and beans—that are excellent sources of calcium which the body is much better equipped to absorb. 7) Chronic constipation in children is related to milk consumption. 8) The most popular form of calcium found in milk, calcium carbonate, which is not even absorbed well. Calcium citrate is the best absorbed supplemental form of calcium. 9) I lived in Hong Kong for 3...
